Between doing homework, leading school clubs, and preparing for the SAT test, you may be tempted to save time by making your college visits brief and light on stops. You would be missing out, however, on lots of vital information that could help you in one of the most important decisions you’ll make. On your next college visit, slow down and try these helpful strategies.

Visit the Dorms

A stop by the dorms will accomplish two things. Not only will you be able to scope out next year’s possible living quarters, but you’ll also be able to speak with current students. Use this chance to find out what they like and don’t like about the college, as well as other useful information you may not find in an admissions brochure.

Grade the Grub

We don’t have to tell you how important food is to your happiness and well-being. The dining halls are where you’ll eat a majority of your meals for as long as you live on campus, so check them out! Larger campuses have multiple eateries with ample options for different dietary restrictions.

Drop Into the Admissions Office

You put in a lot of effort with that college application essay tutor perfecting your personal statement. Why not stop into the admissions office to put a face with your name? Be sure to be polite, professional, and prepared to ask any questions you might have.

Visit Your Prospective Academic Department

If you’ve already settled on a major, use your visit as a chance to meet the teachers, see the classrooms, and learn more about the program you’re enrolling in. It’s considerate to call or email in advance, so you can be sure faculty will have time to meet with you.

Check Out the Extras

Don’t forget to see what the school has to offer in terms of athletic facilities, activity centers, and the bookstore. These will be fun places you’ll visit frequently for four years.
